4. Setup

4.1 Unpacking and Placement

Carefully remove all packaging materials. Due to its weight (90 kg), it is recommended to have at least two people for handling. Position the refrigerator on a flat, stable surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure adequate ventilation space around the appliance (at least 5-10 cm on sides and back, and 30 cm above).

Figure 4.1: Ensure proper air circulation around the unit.

4.2 Leveling the Appliance

Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the refrigerator to ensure it is stable and slightly tilted backward. A slight backward tilt helps the doors close automatically and securely. If the appliance is not level, it may cause excessive noise or improper door sealing.

4.3 Initial Power-On

After positioning, wait at least 3-4 hours before plugging the appliance into a grounded power outlet (240 Volt). This allows the refrigerant to settle. Once plugged in, the refrigerator will begin cooling. Allow several hours (e.g., 4-6 hours) for the internal temperatures to stabilize before loading with food.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Control Panel

The refrigerator features a touch display on the front door for easy temperature control and function selection.

5.2 Temperature Settings

Use the control panel to set desired temperatures for both the refrigerator and freezer compartments independently. Recommended settings are typically 5°C for the refrigerator and -18°C for the freezer.

5.3 Special Functions

• Quick Cool: Activates rapid cooling in the refrigerator compartment. Ideal for quickly chilling newly added groceries.
• Quick Freeze: Activates rapid freezing in the freezer compartment. Use before adding large quantities of fresh food to be frozen.
• Holiday Mode: Sets the refrigerator to an energy-saving mode while you are away, maintaining a higher temperature to prevent odors while minimizing energy consumption. The freezer compartment continues to operate normally.
• Temperature Warning: An audible alarm and/or visual indicator will activate if the internal temperature rises above a safe level.
• Door Open Warning: An alarm will sound if a door is left open for an extended period.
• Child Lock: Prevents accidental changes to settings on the control panel.
